These are probably files that were in use at the time of the defrag.

Its normal.

Non movable files may also include:

SP1 backup files
Pagefile
Previous Windows Installation backup files (if you upgraded from an older OS)

Hi

I think its normally the Page file , when u defrag the page file does not get defraged , the best way is to disable the page file then reboot then run the windows defrag then reanable the page file then reboot .
